envelopes

[Liz]

I'm trying to change my return address, which automatically
shows up on envelopes. Presently the address includes not
only my name and address, but the word "home" . I'd like
to get rid of "home."

I've tried deleting "home" in preferences but still the
word appears on the return addresses of envelopes.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem?

thanks in advance,
Liz

You've changed this on the User Information tab of Tools | Options? Have you
restarted Word? Restarted Windows?

The return address is that shown in tools > options > user information.
Deleting the address here should work, but if this is Word 2003, it seems
that some users (me included) have problems getting Word to retain
preferences here. An answer, if Suzanne's suggestion doesn't work is to set
the preferences in an autonew macro so they are reapplied each time a new
document is created. The code required for that is simple enough :-

Application.UserName = "Your Name"
Application.UserInitials = "Your Initials"
Application.UserAddress = "123 Any Street" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _
"Any Town" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Another address line" & Chr(13) &
Chr(10) & _
"and another" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "England"

Put you own details where indicated.
